Ireland has enjoyed a renaissance of late with success that rivals the glory days of Stephen Roche and Sean Kelly in the 1980s. This year alone, Daniel Martin (Garmin-Sharp) won Liège-Bastogne-Liège and a stage at the Tour de France, while Nicolas Roche (Saxo-Tinkoff) won a stage at the Vuelta a España and came close to the final podium with a grand tour career-best fifth overall. One rider who came up alongside this latest wave of Irish talent was Philip Deignan. In fact, he won a grand tour stage before any of his peers, with a breakaway stage win and ninth overall at the 2009 Vuelta a España.
